[derekm91]

[sedgotenks]

read the last 5 posts

So let's say I buy the Madden Edition PSP. I'm assuming it will have the most current FW. So, how exactly do I make it homebrew-able? And also, when messing with the battery do you just snip off pin 5? Or remove one end?

[Mugen_NeS]

As far as I have heard, just quote me if I'm wrong... you cannot use CFW on the Madden Edition. And yes it should come with the latest firmware. Oh, and weclome to the forums Morpheem. Hopefully that answers your question.

[Morpheen]

It does. And thank you. So I would be better off buyining an older one, possibly used. Should I go slim or phat?

[Mugen_NeS]

See if you can still find a God of War edition. That's the one I own now.

[Morpheen]

I'll try but I bet it's not around...just my luck.

[Morpheen]

Just bought the God of War Edition. So now what? How do I homebrew this puppy? Do I need a downgrader? In either case please explain.

[elpapichulo1990@yahoo.com]

I followed the tutorial on creating the mms and the pandora battery after all that, i inserted the battery back on my fat psp the light didn't came up by itself, i had to turn the psp on myself. after i turned on the wifi and ms leds stay on for about 20 seconds and then the psp cut off. and i have to cut it back on to see if anything happens. the same thing happen....plizzzz help.

[derekm91]

sounds like you ruined your battery to me. You will prob. have to buy a new one.

To all of you having this problem try this method for the magic mem. stick, it worked for me.
You must have winrar.
(PM me for the link, I can't post URL due to low amount of posts.)
This puts CHW version 3.80 m33 on your psp memory stick.
Just follow onscreen instructions.
Hope it helps, it's the only one that worked for me.

I had the same problem as all of you with that problem of "too small reserved sectors" but I got it solved on this thread!!! If you didn't search through the pages for the answer to your problem and posted in such a cluster, you should be shot with a pair of pliers... you heard/read me! If you didn't understand the way it was explained or otherwise need further clarification, then you can post. I'm just getting tired of seeing the same problems being repeated over and over again and people not reading through other people's experiences.
